Hellisgerði, the park in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, looked it’s very best in the wonderful sunny weather and greeted the whole family last Sunday at the annual elf festival. Where you could meet an elf queen, an elf king, a book elf, Benedict the Leprechaun and two dancing Plié elves, just to name a few.
Hellisgerði, the park in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, looked it’s very best in the wonderful sunny weather and greeted the whole family last Sunday at the annual elf festival. Where you could meet an elf queen, an elf king, a book elf, Benedict the Leprechaun and two dancing Plié elves, just to name a few. Guests accepted the challenge to attend the festivities in fairy costumes, with fairy ears and wreaths of flowers, and all over the garden people of all ages could be seen in costumes with flowers in their hair. The rough count of visitors who visited the park, were around 2,000, but there were many more during the actual festivities. It is safe to say that the spirit of the past century, hidden people and elves was all-encompassing in Hellisgerði during the Elf Festival. Kids and strange beings, enjoyed climbing and resting in the lava around the park. The youngest fisherman statue, always charms and called out to the kids to enjoy a little bustle and play in the water, as the sun was shining brightly.
Hellisgerði is a lava filled park in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, where the people of Hafnafjörður and friends of the town have fond memories and stories from the last decades. From the very beginning, the park has served an important community role as a green space, a place to spend time together and a venue for experiences and play for people of all ages. Hellisgerði has in recent years stamped itself as a world of glory and adventure during the Advent, and thousands of visitors make their way to the park in the run-up to Christmas, as well as the ever-popular Christmas village at Thorsplan in Hafnarfjörður. The Little Elf Shop café operates in the garden during the summer and Advent weekends.
